Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a chair apparatus and specifically to a chair incorporating an exercising apparatus therein, which can be used indoors and outdoors.
- the present invention is directed toward a chair which can be used indoors for relaxing and also outdoors in a patio area, backyard or porch, and in which the individual can perform an exercise program while sitting in the chair watching television, listening to music, etc.
- the Siloe patent U.S. Pat. No. 3,968,963, shows a chair type bicycle exercising device which is attached to a chair. Under the chair seat, the apparatus is mounted on a track and can be pulled forward by the seated individual desiring to engage in a pedaling exercise and then pushed back to be stored.
- the present indoor/outdoor exercising chair is a conventional beach type lounge chair used indoors, on the patio and the seashore. It has several exercising devices incorporated into the back, arms, sides and a space beneath the chair seat for use by a seated individual without moving from the chair and for providing an exercise routine without leaving the chair, while watching television, listening to music or other entertainment, but which also serves as a portable foldable lounge chair before and after the exercise routine. It also serves as a convenient, affordable portable chair exercise apparatus easily transported to the seashore for exercising while sunning.
- An outdoor/indoor exercise chair apparatus includes a chair, such as a beach type aluminum chair, having a back arms, legs, seat and a space beneath the seats.
- the chair back has a pair of exercising devices which are embodied in the chair back frame with handles protruding from the chair back and which are ready for use when desired.
- the handles are extendible from the back when pulled against springs positioned in the frame tubes of the chair back.
- a similar exercise device is located in each arm of the chair and has a handle extending therefrom. Each handle is extendible from each chair arm against the pressure of a cable connected to a spring mounted in each of the two front legs when pulled by a person seated in the chair.
- the chair has a pair of exercising devices extending from the frame sides of the chair with accessible handles protruding from the frame sides.
- a headband strap mounted in the top frame of the chair for gripping with both hands when lifting or manipulating the legs in abdominal exercises.
- the headband strap can also be slipped over the head and held firmly against the forehead for neck and upper torso exercises.
- Rubber caps are formed in the chair arm ends for hand squeezing and gripping support.
- An extendible tubular frame attached to the bottom of the two front legs by two spring clamps is folded inward in a stored position and is held firmly against the chair legs and support member by Velcro adhesive pads mounted on the frame and support member between the two front legs.
- a pedal device is also embodied into the frame, along with a telescoping tube and handle so when the extendible frame is pulled forward from its stored position, swiveling in the spring clamps mounted on the two front legs and is adjusted by telescoping to the proper distance desired in front of the chair. The person sitting in the chair can then use the pedal device with the adjusted telescopic tube and handle giving him support in the chair with the pedaling exercise.
- the chair back frame also has an extension support frame affixed to it with a spring clamp and a swivel lever.
- the extension support frame can be detached from the spring clamp by a pulling motion so when the chair back frame is released from the chair arms by pulling out the holding spring release pins embodied in the chair arms and chair back so that it falls backward to rest on the extension support frame placed under the chair back, resulting in a horizontal bench position.
- Two bar holders telescoping out of a parallel tubing member attached to the outside of the extension support frame can then be adjusted to a height over the horizontal chair back frame. At the adjusted height, the bar holders can support a small exercise bar on which several plastic discs can be placed for bench pressing. These discs with screw caps can be filled with sand or water to give a determined weight resistance for exercising at home or the seashore. Other exercises such as curling, overhead pressuring can also be performed by the exercising person.
- a specially designed portable flat platform can be made of either wood or plastic or other substance and will serve as a base over the sand for the legs and exercise frames of the exercise chair.
